on the new direction.

Better aircraft at the rear bases might compensate in some way?

For the challenge? What kept the Luftwaffle flying when the war was really over? The Kaiser's flyers doing the same 25 years before? The Samurais of the skies in the Pacific? Historical gamers don't always play for just a win. Could it be ... the immersion and experience? Difference here being ... you're not scripted to just lose if you're on the historically losing side. You can win the war. Ain't that somethin' .... better?

OK, allied, IN

[Airscrew]

all I can say is wow... maybe I should reopen my account, its been a year, see if my old squad will still take me back

[TequilaChaser]

so what do you got to do to register?

and do I have to stick to one side? during the whole event?

if so then I will wait till this event passes.....

To qualify for medals and awards, you need to fly one side for the entire war (your stats will show).  But you can fly any side you wish.

Actually, fuel would be more likely to be limited at the forward bases.  In RL, the forward bases were always screaming for aprts and fuel.

Rear bases (REMFs) always had the best chow, parts, gas, and girls.

Now I do not agree with giving side A more planes, let alone better ones,  just because they trounced side B  That's poppycock and if you want this AVA thing to work, you'll not even consider it.

I'd rather instead let the Generals decide where they want their planes sent as far as bases.  Then the CO's can tell the Generals how many planes they have available for missions (escorts, JABO, Bomber, etc) and work up the mission parameters from that data.

Them's me thoughts for now.

It might be alittle smart to tell people what country is allied and axis.

[Panzzer]

Note:

Axis are Bishops.

Allies are Rooks.

If you log on as Knights, you won't even see the map. If you're like me, this can be unnerving, as you wonder what's wrong with your computer. (Some have been known to log off and reboot the computer.) For once, however, there is NOTHING wrong with your computer - just switch to one of the two enabled countries.

From the other thread. I haven't been to the arena yet so I don't know whether it's stated in the MOTD, but entering the hangar and seeing the planes available should clear any doubts about what side you're on.

I'm in with The Avengers as axis!:confused:

I was nit when I logged on. The MOTD says nothing about which country is what. So I go rook and I see a spit in the hanger. I then try to go bish when I get a popup box saying I have to wait 40mins to change countrys.

Great Idea! Kudos!

Count 249 Sqn RAF "Gold Coast" IN!

RAF means...that we would like to be on Allied side, naturally, and, if possible, fly British kites.

We accept to drive land leased "yankee" planes but we insist in giving them a different name and camo. Roundels are the only way our Axis fellows can aim at us, poor krouts...

Also, we  demand an Air Marshall, a Vice-Air Marshall, a Commodore and all their staff, official vehicles included. We also find essential, a few WASPs and, of course, an Officers and NCOs Mess and Nissen Huts with heating.

Tea and gin are mandatory, as is beer. A few cigarretes too.

My cat will be the Squadron's mascot, he will need his own quarters and staff too.

If those requirements are met, we may participate in all sorties that do not collide with our bridge, gin rummy, cricket, rugby and football matches.

Thank you,

Sparrow

Sir, request permission to express a suggestion, Sir!

Please, put the different countries planes in different bases, Sir!

The Japanese hate wine, the Italians can't stand sake and the Jerries drank all the beer, Sir!

Also, none of them understands the manuals, Sir!

The Brits and the Yanks are fist fighting all time, some like their beer cold, some warm, the barman had a nervous breakdown.

And if the prettiest girls are in the rear bases, I would rather be posted there, Sir!

Thank you, Sir!
